Summary The Spring Hill (Z Bar) Ranch is a 10,894 acre cattle ranch located two miles north of Strong City in Chase County, Kansas. The ranch is located in the Flint Hills of east-central Kansas and contains a vast expanse of tallgrass prairie. The rolling hills and rocky soils of the Flint Hills are today the most extensive remnant of virgin tallgrass prairie in North America. 1 Numerous natural springs, hence the name "Spring Hill," are found on the ranch, which also includes two permanent streams, Fox Creek and Palmer Creek. Included within the ranch is a virtually intact late nineteenth century ranch headquarters compound. The entire district contains eight contributing buildings, four contributing structures, and two contributing sites. The contributing buildings at the ranch headquarters are: the Spring Hill Ranch House (built 1881; listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971), barn (1881), springhouse/smokehouse, outhouse, icehouse, and poultry house/scratch house/equipment shed. The ranch house is an imposing three story, eleven-room building constructed in the Second Empire style, a rare architectural style in the region, and executed in native materials. The 6,480 square foot, 3-story barn is nearly as impressive as the house. At the time of its construction, it lacked two feet of being the largest barn in the state of Kansas. The 1-story limestone poultry house has an arched stone roof covered with sod, and has an attached scratch house and equipment shed. The stone smokehouse has a springhouse beneath, which is accessible from the ranch house via a below-grade tunnel. The outhouse and icehouse were constructed of limestone as well. Located approximately half a mile north of the ranch is the Lower Fox Creek School (built 1882; listed on National Register in 1974), also constructed of native limestone. At the southeast corner of the district, historically associated with the Barney Lantry ranch, is a contributing limestone chicken house. The contributing structures on the Spring Hill ranch are the several miles of stone fencing, a stone cistern, and two stone corrals. The several miles of dry-laid stone fence are counted as one contributing structure due to the extensive nature of the system. The contributing sites are the garden terraces in front of the ranch house and the ranch lands. The stone terraces feature elaborate steps leading to the house that are topped with an iron fence. The ranch lands primarily consist of virgin tallgrass prairie, with 456.4 acres in brome grass and twenty ponds scattered throughout the property. There are seven non-contributing buildings: two metal sheds at the ranch headquarters, a metal barn near the Lantry ranch headquarters, two barns at the Lantry headquarters, and a stone garage and a caretaker's house at the Spring Hill ranch headquarters. The non-contributing structures include a stone bridge located on the former Lantry property, an earthen silage pit, and cement-stave silo - all historic but constructed after the period of significance; the modern Highway 177; and the sewage disposal ponds located in the southeastern portion of the property. All of the contributing buildings and structures have been well- maintained throughout their entire period of existence, and retain an exceptionally high level of integrity in location, setting, feeling, design, materials, and workmanship. The house, outbuildings, and fence are united by their common use of a single building material - the locally-quarried native limestone, and the district as a whole retains a strikingly historic sense of time and place. Although the ranch's boundaries have varied over the years with changing ownership, the ranch lands (contributing site) have retained a high level of integrity in all areas of consideration: location, setting, feeling, design, materials, workmanship, as well as association. 1 The natural features of the Spring Hill Ranch have been preliminarily recommended for listing as a National Natural Landmark.

The ranch is located a few miles north of Strong City in Chase County. Kansas Highway 177, which is considered non-contributing although it approximates the location of the historic road, passes through the ranch and runs directly in front (east) of the ranch headquarters. The Flint Hills are a range of eastward facing, dissected escarpment of erosion-resistant limestones and more easily weathered shales which form a forty-three mile wide north/south band across eastern Kansas.2 The resistant limestone beds form benches or ledges, while the intervening slopes have chert fragments strewn over the rocky soil. Ranch lands: The landscape is dominated by vast expanses of native prairie rangelands with intermittent corridors of woodland along existing streams and drainageways. There are two permanent streams in the Spring Hill Ranch - Fox Creek, a tributary of the Cottonwood River, runs north/south in the southeastern portion of the ranch, and Palmer Creek, a branch of Fox Creek which runs east/west across the northern portion of the property. There are several natural springs within the ranch boundaries, many of which have been dammed as water sources for cattle. The uplands in the ranch are dominated by tallgrass or true prairie species, including big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), little bluestem (Andropogon scoparius), and Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans). All of the lands west of Highway 177 are virgin prairie as are those east of the creek. The lowlands in the ranch, east of the highway from the ranch headquarters

  • Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Thomas O. Boggs December 2012 Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Background his reconnaissance study was prepared by the National Park Service (NPS) at T the request of U.S. Representative Cory Gardner (CO), who asked the NPS to evaluate Boggsville, Colorado, as a potential new unit of the park service.1 Boggsville, which is in Bent County, Colorado, is a 39-acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; that nomination determined that Boggsville had a state level of significance. The purpose of the NPS reconnaissance study was to determine if Boggsville also met NPS criteria for national significance. If deemed nationally significant, Boggsville could then be further considered as a National Historic Landmark, or as a potential unit of the NPS. The primary contributing buildings at Boggsville include the Thomas O. Boggs home and the John W. Prowers house. The Pioneer Historical Society of Bent County acquired Boggsville in 1985. The site consists of 110 acres of land, of which 39 acres are associated with the Boggsville settlement. Thomas Boggs Home - NPS Photo, Greg Kendrick The history and evaluation of national significance was prepared by historian and PhD candidate Steven C. Baker, under the supervision of Dr. Ralph Mann, associate professor, Department of History, University of Colorado Boulder, working in cooperation with the Heritage Partnerships Program of the NPS Intermountain Region. 1 Cory Gardner, Member of Congress, House of Representatives, letter to Jon Jarvis, Director, U.S.

  • Bird List of San Bernardino Ranch in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico
    Bird List of San Bernardino Ranch in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico Melinda Cárdenas-García and Mónica C. Olguín-Villa Universidad de Sonora, Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico Abstract—Interest and investigation of birds has been increasing over the last decades due to the loss of their habitats, and declination and fragmentation of their populations. San Bernardino Ranch is located in the desert grassland region of northeastern Sonora, México. Over the last decade, restoration efforts have tried to address the effects of long deteriorating economic activities, like agriculture and livestock, that used to take place there. The generation of annual lists of the wildlife (flora and fauna) will be important information as we monitor the progress of restoration of this area. As part of our professional training, during the summer and winter (2011-2012) a taxonomic list of bird species of the ranch was made. During this season, a total of 85 species and 65 genera, distributed over 30 families were found. We found that five species are on a risk category in NOM-059-ECOL-2010 and 76 species are included in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It will be important to continue this type of study in places that are at- tempting restoration and conservation techniques. We have observed a huge change, because of restoration activities, in the lands in the San Bernardino Ranch. Introduction migratory (Villaseñor-Gómez et al., 2010). Twenty-eight of those species are considered at risk on a global scale, and are included in Birds represent one of the most remarkable elements of our en- the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature vironment, because they’re easy to observe and it’s possible to find (IUCN).
